I've written a basic bash script to test SSMTP,
SSMTP works fine, but the script I wrote doesn't send the message correctly
clear
echo "sending mail"
echo "who are you sending it to?"
read $to
echo
echo "excellent, now what is the subject?"
read $subject
echo
echo "marvelous, now write a quick message:"
read $message
echo To: $to > mail.txt
echo From: emailbox >> mail.txt
echo Subject: .$subject >> mail.txt
echo $message >> mail.txt
clear
echo "ok, I will send this message for you..."
ssmtp $to < mail.txt
echo "message sent successfully!"
thsi just creates the file without the variables in it for some reason
can anyone spot where I've gone wrong?
thanks
